The folks at Candytopia scrambled to get the place open by Christmas, offering refunds or to honor earlier purchased tickets on future dates, but it was unable to solve its permitting problems with the City of Los Angeles.

An email blast went out to all Candytopia ticket holders on Thursday, Feb. 22, to let them know that Candytopia would be opening in a new location at Santa Monica Place (395 Santa Monica Place, Unit 142) on Saturday, March 3 for a limited four-month run.

Tickets are currently on sale to the general public $30 adults; $23 kids ages 4-13; Free for children 3 and under with paid adult. All tickets must be purchased in advance and there is a six ticket limit per person at Candytopia.com.
